Distributed Operating
Systems developed further the Unix operating system. Many topics
including RPC, Security, Kernels, Threads, Processes, Shared Memory, Client/Server,
C programming and synchronization were taught.
The coursework was
to simulate a temperature sensor program, using a client/server model.
The client front-end enabled the user to request the minimum, maximum,
specific sensor etc. The client program used remote procedure calls
to return the values.
